Nicolas was basically at the lowest point of his life prior to coming to Manta Carlos, and he's still... sort of digging his way out of the ditch. Essentially he drank until he couldn't afford to drink anymore, and then tried to get his life back together, and now that he does have it together and has a job that pays insane amounts of cash, he's gone right back to drinking until his liver screams.

Eventually he''ll stop--he'll get that shit under control--but right now he's not doing anything productive with his life. Basically I'm looking for something related to this. Another alcoholic who he drinks with who might be in a similar situation. Someone who just finished (or is in the process of) beating their own alcoholism. Something like that. Please give this poor man friends.

So uh

-coughs-

i have a certain water horse that has just returned from a year long disappearance, sober. I do have plans for him to fall off the wagon later on but I could foresee this possibly working in the meantime if you might be interested.

Oooo, I could see this working, even though Nic's several years older. How embarrassing is it that the kid's doing better than him?

Only question would be how they'd meet. Not sure Lochlann would be going to like, alcoholic help group, and I'm not sure if he'd fish nic out of the gutter after a bender.

Okay, I'm poking you in plotting because my shiternet is making it difficult to track down information.

Now i'm going to post what we talked about in plotting for reference later:

--Does Lochlann theoretically find him in the room at the bar Lochlann used to work at when Lochlann comes to look for his stuff?

--Does Lochlann run into him at a bar when he applies for a job, and decides to demonstrate the "I know how to handle drunk people" by taking Nic outside to talk with him?
